Formscan By John O'Riordan - VANILLIER can make up for a luckless Cheltenham run by gaining some form of compensation. The Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding was prominent in the early stages before dropping towards rear after almost taking the wrong route. Having to make up considerable ground in order to get back into the race, the grey did exceptionally well to run on for third. Granted a clearer passage, he is very mich the horse to beat. A previous winner of this race, the veteran Vital Island holds leading claims despite his advancing years. The 13-year-old showed that he still has plenty left in him when winning at Lingstown recently. Three By Two, another proven performer around this banks course, should be involved.
